25.01.2022 WE DID IT! As of last week, we've hit a MASSIVE milestone. 50% of all our Food and Beverage is now produced locally (within an hour's drive). To put it in perspective, most hotel chains will be sitting at 2% on a good week. Annualised, this has us pumping just over $1,000,000 into our local economy and into the pockets of our farmers, wine makers, brewers and distillers as well as their growing team of staff.... Not to mention, 50% of what we now serve is fresher and tastier. (Next stop, 60%) Next time you head to your local, ask them 'What's Local?' cc. Destination Wollongong Destination Southern Highlands Visit Shoalhaven

03.01.2022 Friends. We must remind everyone that under no circumstances can we take 'GROUPS' of over 10 people. If you try to get crafty and create 2 separate bookings, we will catch wind pretty quickly when you arrive and we'll have to give you some disappointing news. It breaks our heart to have to turn away so much business in such a difficult time but Covid compliance is key for us.... Please understand that no matter how creative you get in covering your tracks, once we find out that a group is larger than 10, we can't allow the entire group to stay. 10 or under though, we'd love to have you
